The clerk’'s table was covered with grewsome exhibits, among them be- ing the fractured skull of Ruiz and partly | burned fragments of his clothing. There | were also a money sack, found where Gonzales is alleged to have hidden it, and a package of money containing two of Ruiz’'s Mexican dollars, shipped by Gon- zales from Mendota to his own address | at_Fowler. | On the morning of April 25 it was dis- | covered that the roadhouse of Ruiz had been destroyed by fire and his charred | body was found in the ruins. Gonzales | and” Cota were suspected of the crime. | They were arrested at Fresno the day | after and had articles of Ruiz in their possession. Shortly after their arrest Cota decided to turn State’s evidence and made a con- fession to the effect that he and Gonzales went to Ruiz’s house at night and while he engaged Ruiz in a game of cards Gon- zales hit him over the head with a rifle, | felling him to the floor. Gonzales then | fired a shot into the prostrate body and f{;nurnd coal oil over it and set it and the | building on fire, previously ransacking { every ncok and corner for money. | The testimony given to-day related | chiefly to the movements of the two men before the hour of the murdér. will be resumed to-morrow.

Tiller, who have been looked upon here as mining men, prove to be railroad surveyors for a new road which is to extend from Bakersfield through the Cuyama country with an out- let into the Santa Maria Valley. As far as can be learned, the men have already practically secured a right of way | from one or two parties. The operations |are to begin within sixty days and the | road is to be completed in three years. | The securing of the right of way and, n fact, all movements pertaining to this new project have been conducted with the utmost secrecy. Tiller and McPherson re- fuse-to divulge anvthing pertaining to the scheme, neither denying nor affirming the W. F. Johnson, a prominent rancher | from the Cuvama district, was the first }to give out any definite information, stat- ing that he had been approached in re- gard to granting the new company u right of way over his land. In all proba- bility it will connect with the Pacifiz Coast Rallroad, which now operates be- tween San Luis Obispo and Los Olivos, and will also be extended dpwn the valley to Guadalupe, to connect with the South- ern Pacific. . Who the promoters of this new road are cannot be learned. It fs surmised they are acting for a private company. while others believe it to be a branch of Clark’'s Utah Short Line.

SEATTLE, July 25.—The steamer Nome City arrived to-day from Nome. The pas- sengers report a rich strike in the Fair- haven district, ninety miles north of Nome, and say a stampede has occurred from Nome. The Bluster district is still frozen, and it will be some weeks before the miners will be able to commence sluicing. The Kougarock district is also backward, and 1500 men are in Teller City waiting for the season to open. About $500,000 has been sluiced from winter dumps near Nome. A report came by the Nome City that the British steamship Buckingham is in trouble at St. Michael, having been jammed in the ice, but the extent of the damage is not known. The transport Seward Is in distress and will have to be towed to Puget Sound. Her boilers gave out and it was found im- possible to make repairs in the north. The transport Warren was to start from Nome with the Seward in tow on July 16. Both vessels unloaded cargoes for the Government and are well on their way to this city.

SANTA CLARA RUSHES ITS FRUIT TO KANSAS Buyers From ti;eAParched Middie West Make Large Demand for Green Products. SAN JOSE, July 25.—The fruit growers of Santa Clara County are profiting by the drouth in the Middle West, and dur- ing the past two days there has been an unusual demand for green fruit. Not only this, but buyers are seeking the orchardists and paying ,the prices de- manded. Prices are going up. It is im- possible yet to state the prices and the increase, as the sales are scattered and ‘lihe condition was inaugurated but yestcr- ay. 3 The demand is for all kinds of fruit and vegetables that will stand transporting East. All the local shipping agencies are buying spot cash fruit on Eastern orders and rushing it to Kansas City and Omaha. Prices have varied, but it is probable that the increase thus far has been about 20 per cent. It will be greuter as the growers realize the conditions that influence the market. ——l FALLS IN LOVE WITH THE HEAD WAITRESS Prominent Los Angeles Dentist Loscs His Heart to an Employe of the Van Nuys. 1.0S ANGELES, July 2.—Dr. G.

AT Spectal Dispatch to The Call. ANAIOCH, July %—The well-known hotel and sanitarium at Byron Springs, in Contra Costa County, was burned to the ground this afternoon. A large num- ber of the guests had narrow escapes from serious injury while endeavoring to crowd their way to places of safety. There were more than 100 persons stay- ing at the resort and probably half the number were in the main building whea the flames started in one of the rooms. Fortunately, the progress of the fire was retarded sufficiently tq enable all of the guests to reach the ground. Those who were 1l were removed to cottages by at- tendants. The personal effects of many of the hotel patrons furnished fuel for the flames. The loss is roughly estimated to be about $100,000, and is fully covered by insurance. The cause of the biaze has not been as- certained, but it is thought that it started in a defective flue. The first knowledge that the house was burning came to a guest who detected the odor of smoke in a corridor and heard the fire crackling between the walls. Instantly an alarm was given and guests rushed pellmell through the halls and down the stairs to the several exits. Patients in the sanita- rium which formed a portion of the prin- cipal structure were carried out and were soon made as comfortable as possible in distant cottages. There was no lack of effort to save the belongings of the guests, but the blaze made its ruinous way with surprising rapidity.and few ar- ticles could be removed in time. Employes of the hotel, assisted by scores of guests, strocve desperately but futilely to beat back the destroying flames. The building was of light material and in a few hours was a_heap of ashes. Besides the main building there were also destroyed the ice plant, owe cottage of twenty rooms, the large laundry and | several small outbuildings. The valuables | belonging to the guests were in a safe in | the office and were not injured. | The hotel was owned by L. R, Mead, | bookkeeper at the Risdon Iron Works in | San Francisco. -He is at present in Mon- tana. The San Franciscans who were guests at the hotel when the fire occurred are: Mrs. S. Burns, G. A. Johnson, L. F. Stock and Mrs. Stock, A. Kleinert, M. Mood. F. W. Winters and Mrs. Winters, M. Green, Louis Bearwald, John Filza, William Foberty, M. Lynch, Edward Leo- pold, W. D. Burk, High Marks, I. L. Blum and Mrs. Oscar Miles. Senator Cox and his wife of Sacramento were among the other guests.

SACRAMENTO, July 25.—The State Board of Equal'zation had an uneventful session to-day, the only road which had a statement to offer being the Pajaro Valley Rallroad, represented by its manager, J. M. Taylor. The statement showed that for 1900 the total earnings were $85,339 91, while this year the earnings were $68,- | 755 Taylor explained that the falling off in net earnings was due to the fact that the road is now getting down nearer its regu- lar basis, a large part of the showing a year ago being for material carried for the construction of the Watsonville and Spreckels sugar beet factories. | MOTHER AND CHILD HURLED FROM A BUGGY ‘Wife of a Santa Barbara County Clergyman Is Probably Fatally Injured.
